Contribution 2017 to WFP Refugee Operations in Kenya
Rational and relevance of the intervention and summary of overall goal:
In line with the Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) principles, Switzerland recognizes the necessity of predictable and flexible funding to respond to changing needs in humanitarian crises. SDC funding to WFP operations allows the World Food Programme (WFP) to respond proactively and to provide immediate food assistance in life-threatening situations.
Amidst funding shortfalls and consequent cuts of food ratios for refugees in Kenya, Switzerland contributes to the food assistance for refugees living in Dadaab and Kakuma camps.

| Hintergrund |
Founded in 1961, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) is the world’s largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger and under-nutrition. Responding to emergencies and saving lives and livelihoods – directly and by strengthening country response capacities – form the major part of WFP’s operations. On average, WFP reaches more than 90 million people with food assistance in 80 countries each year, mostly women and children. |
| Ziele | The overall goal of WFP is providing immediate food assistance in life-threatening situations. |
| Zielgruppen | WFP beneficiaries worldwide |
| Mittelfristige Wirkungen | WFP provides emergency food assistance in the aftermath of natural or man-made disasters and supports food assistance programmes that bridge the gap between relief and recovery, helping communities build a better future. In addition, WFP’s longer-term approaches to hunger, such as building community resilience and promoting the scale-up of social protection and cash-based transfer interventions, help the transition from recovery to development. |
| Resultate |
Erwartete Resultate: WFP fights hunger in least-developed and low-income countries where victims of natural disasters, refugees, displaced people and the hungry poor face severe food shortages. Resultate von früheren Phasen: WFP’s agility in responding to humanitarian needs, its ability to innovate and learn and its willingness to act when called on by its partners are recognized as core strengths that support partners’ responses to increasing and more complex humanitarian needs. |
